Hi everyone,
I've been having some peculiar issues since I flashed the altered unter kernel for Paranoid. Initially, I was having the wifi occasionally turn off, and could only get it back on by restarting the device. As this was getting annoying, I tried flashing other kernels, but still had the problem. Finally, I went full stock (flashing blob, reflash recovery etc), but still am having this problem. Now I'm back on PA with a different Unter kernel that was supposedly tweaked to fix this problem. What could it be? I'm a wipeaholic, so i don't think it's that. anyone have a known stable kernel for PA I could test with? Thanks everyone

Hello All,
Here's my 2 cents on SODs and killing of it (even if only temporary)
I am currently on @Anti's Asylum ROM. Previous to that, I was on CM9 ver 7.
Had been plagues by SODs and had almost given up and was about to flash Samsung Stock ROM.
I was on Stunner previous to CM9. Once I was on CM9 and loving it, I came across this nasty looking creature called SOD for the first time in my life.
Threads suggested I should flash GB ROM back and do a clean install. @AndroidIndian was kind enough to walk me through all the steps and I did everything I had to. Then flashed CM9 back. Guess what, those SODDIN SODs were still there.
So, apologetically, I posted that I had to betray my brethren here and go back to Samsung Stock.
Then, @Tremorone PMed me to try @Anti's asylum, built on CM9 code. He said since I was trying to hold on to an AOSP thing, I should try it at leas once. In one last ditch effort, I did the right thing - flashed Asylum ROM over the CM9 ver 7.
Now, the interesting bit:
Initially, I was on XXLPT Modem (the latest one). Overnight, there was no SOD and I was a happy bunny. Next morning I got a long call (about 20 mins). Once the call was over, SOD !!!! Figured it HAD to be a modem.
So, I did the following:
1) I flashed LP5 Modem through Mobile Odin. SODs were less but the lockscreen froze up once.
2) Being the impatient prick that I am, after a while I flashed LB2 Modem via CWM Recovery.
SODs has drastically gone down on that. No SODs in the last 7 hours as a matter of fact.
I don't know if it's the ROM, LB2 via CWM or the combination of Steps 1 and 2 above, but seems like it has more or less solved the problem. Of course, it is still early days and I need to observe for a couple days more.
To everyone suffering at the hands of the SOD demon, I would suggest why not try Step 1, let the ROM settle, and then proceed with Step 2 (as above).
There's no harm in trying, right? And if it solves it, nothing more beautiful than it. Then you can go CM flash happy as soon as new builds start being avaialble.
Thanks to @Abhisahara for helping me keep the faith.
All the best SODding off the SOD.
Cheers.
Well, I think I'm a lucky guy. I had never one SOD since I own a note. I have nearly the same flashing history like you. Flashed also many modems . I can't imagine why the devices are so different. The same thing I noticed with my old HD2. I hope you will find the reason/way to solve this f******* SOD issue

I'm the same after flashing cm9 I had one screen of death on the lb2 modem.. I flashed lp6 just because.. After that I used cm9 for a week with not one sod before flashing ics official

My SODs stopped after I flashed .19 Stunner with LP5 kernel and LP6 modem. I haven't had one since then (**knock on wood**). I am on stock ICS now with the new modem, not CF-root kernel though. Strange how variables are always so different though.
Hmm,
I've flashed several modems since being plagued by the SODs. I'm on CM9 nightlies and am using LP6 from LB2. The SODs have gone down with the newer modem since I was getting 5 or 6 a day! But, I still get at least one or two a day now. I'll try with the latest LPT or LR1 and see if these make any improvements.
They are a bit of a mystery though since there never seems to be any consistency to what is actually causing the sleeps.
I always flashed modems through Mobile Odin and flashed every single modem available for note, but still had SODs.
So I wiped everything and reinstalled the ROM and did not restore data and I did not have SOD.
I have data backed up on Google, it restored my apps (through play store), contacts and wifi access points, so I was kind of OK, since I did not lose out much. But thats just me!
I tried LB2 ,LA4 ,LPY Modems ,and had one SOD in two weeks time while on CM9 build#3 and LA4 modem.
LB2 modem iks very good and I'm using it right now with the latest nightly with no SODs what so ever.
I've flashed modems using CWM and still get the SODs. I'm beginning to think these are not directly related to the modem. I did a clean install of GB from Imilka's CM9 (Chinese leak) then Chainfire's rooted kernal and then on to the CM9 nightly. I didn't copy any system data but I did use TB to resinstall my apps (against advice I know). I had no SODs on Imilka's rom but they appeared following install of CM9 nightly.
I guess I'll try a clean install again but I hate having reconfig my phone everytime since I change so many things via Apex, Minimalistic Text and Folder Organiser apps.
I'm hoping though that we'll get to a nice update on CM9 that will resolve the problem eventually.
I think SOD is WIFI related (not just modem). Since upgrading to ICS, different ROMs, I had many of them on all ROMs and modems, until I set my WIFI to never sleep and disabled any battery saver trying to make it sleep when screen off. That solved it for me. Then started testing battery savers, most of them brought SOD again, until I tried battery defender, which seem to work without SODs.
Had lots of SODs in the past on CM9, none for 3 days since I installed nightly 20120515 and LPT modem. Fingers crossed
I recently purchased the asus transformer pad tf300t and was trying out different custome firmwares from aokp to cm9. After installing cm9 i didnt really like it so i reverted back to a previous back up using twrp. It booted fine however now i cannot enable wifi. I have tried wiping the tablet clean doing a full factory reset and reinstalling aokp from fresh but it still does not allow me to enable the wifi setting it is just greyed out, can someone please help as the only posts i've seen are for the prime and tf101 and 202's.
Thanks

i am experiencing the same thing as we speak. went from cm9 ((didnt like it)) restored backup and now cant enable wifi.fyi going back to cm9 and i can enable wifi again. retore backup and no wifi?? does cm9 do this? so we stay on it?
same problem here
when you flash back your stock rom, cm9 kernel and baseband both stand, and they are not fully suported by stock rom

cwm backups wont restore your kernel. You need to flash the official asus firmware and return to stock. this will wipe all of your data and can only be done with cwm recovery.
Hey great guys here at XDA! I'm having an issue lately after I flashed a kernel about a week ago. The kernel was Francos and ever since I flashed it my wireless charging is on the fritz. It will sometimes charge about 30 minutes before it stops recognizing the source and others a few seconds. A lot of the time I will get the charging logo sort of blink because it is constantly going in and out. I have tried every kernel out there and it still does this. Everything was fine when I was on stock so I flashed back both with the zip method and through the actual factory image through ADB by flashing both system.img and boot.img. I can't seem to figure out what went wrong and was looking for someone's advice who might have a better clue. I have been on stock ROM this whole time and am currently on faux kernel using his kernel enhancement app. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

When attempting to wake up device (SPH-L720) from sleep using power or home button, it doesn't wake up, gets blank screen, the menu and back soft buttons LED lights come on, hangs for few secs on the black screen, then reboots by itself. Issue happens randomly and sometimes once a day or multiple times an hour. It seems like the problem existed before rooting and installing custom ROM but I've just noticed it.
I'm using TriForce 3.0 ROM (Android 4.2.2) w/ baseband L720VPUAMDL and kernel 3.4.0-KT-SGS4-ga23d84c. I've tried wiping/reinstall ROM, reflashing back stock ROM, removing microSD card. Nothing helped. The battery charges properly and is usually fully charged. No wear and tear or damage of any kind. Device is 1 month old.
Any ideas what might be causing the problem and suggestions for possible fix?
its because of the kernal, mine does this aswell..

Did you find a fix? Does changing the kernel fix the problem? If so, which kernel did you go with? It's driving me crazy lol. Thanks!
I cannot speak to whether or not, as somebody else suggested, the kernal is at fault, but I too am using KT Kernal and have this issue.

Did you notice if you had the issue before rooting and flashing the KT kernel? I'm trying to narrow down the cause. I'm thinking of trying another kernel to test and see if it fixes the problem.

I don't recall it happening before root, but I rooted fairly soon after getting it. I cannot remember whether it happened while it was stock rooted. As to the kernel, I flashed it immediately after installing my rom, so I would not be able to distinguish between the two as a source.
I switched to the agat kernel and it stopped rebooting until I attempted to watch videos... So I went back to ktoonz..it is most defiantly a kernel issue as this is a known issue with that kernel I deal with it everyday and its absolutely annoying
There is a nice selection to pick from.. Agates..kt...stock....chronic..and faux ..had the same issues on KT but fixed it by UV down 15 across the board ..also for some reason 8/20 worked better for me ..but my fix might not work for anyone else..I really liked chronic..running faux now ..I hated reboots ..my phone was rebooting before I ever rooted it ..who knows my carrier wanted me to bring it in for a replacement ..decided it was time to start reading

Same situation here. I rooted and flash a custom ROM on mine right after I got it. I believe it had the issue pre-root on stock ROM/kernel, but I'm not a 100% sure. I had same issue w/ the Cyanogenmod ROM, not sure what kernel it was using.

Do you remember if you had the issue on stock ROM before rooting? I believe mine has always existed and might be a hardware problem because I tried different ROMs/kernels and issue persisted with all of them.

Is there a comparison thread of different kernels? I'm wondering what the pros/cons of each and maybe some user experience feedback. I believe mine was rebooting as well when it was on stock before rooting. This seems like it might be a hardware problem rather than software (ROM/kernel). Do you think everyone w/ a Sprint Galaxy S4 (SPH-L720) is having this issue? If so, Samsung should do something about it because it's super annoying!
Update: I've been using latest version of KT-SGS4 kernel 3.4.59 (Aug 25 build) for over a day and it's been pretty stable w/ no occurrence of the problem. I'll keep this thread posted w/ updates if I run into any problem. Thanks to everyone for their help!
2nd Update: it still has the problem.
It's still happening but at a slightly lower frequency with the latest KT-SGS4 kernel. For those who have tried a different kernel, did it fix the problem? I'm trying to narrow down the source and convince myself for certain that it's a software rather than a hardware issue.
Same issues
I have been a lurker here for a while, and have found most of the answers that I am looking for without having to ask any questions. For that I say thank you.
I would like to let you know that I am experiencing the same issue with my rooted SGS4. I do not recall having the issue before rooting the phone (I ran it stock for a month or so before rooting it in early July). Today I did a factory reset and re-installed Tri-Force 3.0. Here is some more info if it helps.
SPH-L720
Android 4.2.2
L720VPUAMDL
Hardware Ver. L720.08
Kernel 3.4.0-KT-SGS4-ga23d84c
I am going to try to un-root it this afternoon and go back to out of the box stock to verify it is not a hardware issue.
I am mostly posting here to follow the thread hoping for a fix.

Try that and odin back to stock mf9 not mdl. Tri-force is mf9 based so maybe thats why you get those issues because you need firmware kernel modem and such. Also it could be that kt kernel had been reported to cause some of those issues.
i went to a new rom and new kernal and this is still happening to me, i have no idea what it is now.... any solutions from anyone?
UPDATE: BAD MICRO SD CARD!!!!!!!!!!! REMOVED MY SD CARD AND NO ISSUES IN THE PAST 2 DAYS
NEW UPDATE: SPOKE TO SOON..
on the latest d802 4.4.2 custom roms and kernels i get a lot of freezes.
it will freeze in the middle of an animation and will take some seconds up to some minutes and then working normal again.
sometimes i have to hard-reboot to get out of freeze / lag.
on older 4.4.2 slimroms i never had this behavior, only since some weeks with new roms / kernels.
i`ve tried every rom / kernel combo but sooner or later i will get a freeze again.
could a revert to stock and re-rooting / flashing custom rom maybe a solution? i`m afraid to do this because of the long time to backup my 32gb data.
what are your experiences with the latest 4.4.2 roms and kernels? did you find a solution for this with any combo or fixes?
help would be appreciated.
push! no one else with same problems? maybe i got a hardware defect?

The only thing I can say is I own the VS980 version of the device and i've tried every single 4.4 rom offered on this sight and have the same issue with all. Most of the time i'm using the device and it freezes, sometimes reboots, and sometimes comes out of it after a few minutes. Also not being able to wake the device only seeing a black screen and forced to hard reboot device. 4.3 seems to be a much better with these issues but not completely solved for me. I'm hoping the release of 4.4 source from lg will fix these issues but i'm unsure. So at least your not alone in these problems lol. I've tried multiple kernels and governors etc. Bumping up the min freq on the cpu seems to help and changing to interactive governor but doesn't eliminate the issue just help. I thought my next move would be to use lg flash tool and update to latest firmware reroot and install cwm.

i think i will do the same today after work. hopefully this helps.
the better option would be to stay some days on stock rom to ensure there is no hardware defect. but i can`t stand stock so this would be a hard route! ^_^

Yea unfortunately it seems very common among these devices so i'm pretty confident it's a software issue although i'm not 100% sure of that. I ran a flex rom for a few days on 4.2.2 and didn't have any of the same issues.
added a poll as a matter of interest.
omni-ROM, Mokee rom, vanir rom etc.freezing problem still continues.
Using CM11 (4.4.2) for 5 days with zero freezes so far.. note that this is on D800, not 802.

Yes, stock cm kernel.
I'm thinking back now and it did freeze once when first signing into the Google account immediately after flashing the ROM, but nothing after that. So.. nearly spotless
Nice! Maybe they are getting the issues ironed out. Haven't been on cm11 for a week or so since it was the worst with freezes for me. I'll have to give it another shot.

Best of luck! To be specific, I'm using the snapshot release of cm11... still don't trust the nightly releases
i did a lg flash tool stock restore, factory reset and OTA updates. now the freezes did not come back until now *knock on wood*.
when i did a backup of the sd there was one corrupt media file which was not able to transfer.
maybe the media scanner did go crazy and was the reason for the freezes.
using cm11 m3 on my d802... very little freezes compared to previous nightlies, fingers crossed
